Hosting org: CloudFlare, Inc. Page title: Trustex - Cryptocurrency Exchange | Buy & Sell Bitcoin, Ethereum & More HTTP response: 200 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Google Trust Services / WE1 Expires: 2026-09-20 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 82cd23eec22883120651f3c61653a4609a61c3447abbea18ce0fd7cc2cc23f63 ## ABUSE-REPORT HISTORY (evidence of registrar non-response) ---------------------------------------------------------------- Status: pending notification queue. No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- First detected: 2026-07-28 19:23:09 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-07-30 02:00:07 UTC Current status: ACTIVE / observable ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-28 19:25:57 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] trustex.io credential harvesting site Analysis as of July 28, 2026 indicates that the domain trustex.io resolves to a web server returning HTTP 200, suggesting an active payload. The site was submitted to VirusTotal and scanned by 91 antivirus and URL scanners; none of the engines currently flag the host, but the absence of detections does not constitute assurance of benign intent. PhishDestroy has already listed the domain as malicious, and it appears on one additional security blocklist, confirming that at least one independent threat‑intelligence feed has categorized it as a phishing resource. No public information on registrar, hosting IP, ASN, or SSL certificate is provided, and the page title or any brand‑specific content has not been disclosed, leaving the exact lure or impersonated brand undefined. The classification in the supplied data is “generic phishing,” indicating that the site likely attempts to harvest credentials without targeting a particular brand. Defenders should immediately add trustex.io to web‑filter deny lists, enforce DNS sink‑holing for the domain, and monitor outbound connections for any attempted communications with the host. Continuous re‑scanning on multi‑engine platforms is advised, as additional detections may emerge. Because the domain is still active, threat‑hunting teams should query internal logs for recent DNS queries or HTTP requests to trustex.io and investigate any associated user accounts for signs of credential compromise. In the absence of further technical artefacts, the recommendation is to treat the domain as hostile and to apply a precautionary block until a more detailed forensic snapshot becomes available. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 9a5a67a3b984ab223eef25ac3f419432 TLS cert SHA-256: 82cd23eec22883120651f3c61653a4609a61c3447abbea18ce0fd7cc2cc23f63 ## SCORING METHODOLOGY ---------------------------------------------------------------- Composite score is NOT derived from VirusTotal alone. PhishDestroy aggregates: - VirusTotal positive ratio - Public blocklist consensus (MetaMask, ScamSniffer, OpenPhish, PhishTank, URLhaus, CryptoFirewall, SEAL, Polkadot, Enkrypt, Phishunt, DiscordPhishing, PhishingDB) - Cloaking detection (HTTP 666 or rendering delta between bot and real visitor) - DNS-filter consensus (Quad9, CleanBrowsing, NextDNS, AdGuard, Cloudflare, etc.) - AlienVault OTX pulses + Cloudflare Radar + Google Safe Browsing - URLScan / URLQuery verdicts - Brand-impersonation heuristics (DOM analysis of forms, logos, wording) - Known phishing-kit fingerprinting (favicon hash, JS obfuscation signatures) - Wallet-drainer family classification (Angel, MS, Rainbow, Pink, Inferno, ...) - Free-TLS vs paid-cert ratio (throwaway infrastructure signal) - Registrar/hosting abuse history (this registrar's track record) - Human researcher sign-off (operator takedown team) A domain present in our database is ALREADY flagged. A low VT count by itself does NOT mean the domain is safe — new scam domains routinely show 0/95 VT for their first 7–30 days while actively draining wallets. Always cross-reference the composite score and the individual indicators above, not just VT. ## CORRECTIONS / APPEALS ---------------------------------------------------------------- Full HTML report: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/trustex.io/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=trustex.io Appeal a flag: https://phishdestroy.io/appeals/ (responded to within 48 hours, FP rate <0.01%) Submit a report: https://t.me/PhishDestroy_bot About PhishDestroy: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
